(Gabrielle Bélanger-Dumontier and Mélanie Vachon, Transcultural Psychiatry, Vol. 52 (2), April, 2015)

Refuge and Resilience provides an excellent and fairly comprehensive examination of its topic. ... Refuge and Resilience succeeds on many levels and is a must read for all who work with refugees or seek to make or implement policies that promote rather than impede the resilience and well-being of refugees, forced migrants, and the broader societies where they live."
